Oh I am sorry you are feeling like that!! I am glad the morning sickness has subsided!! Sherry's ideas sounds good! I understand your hestitant about taking the meds..I know you will take it when you really need to and I know you will keep an eye on your pressure....I am not going to read you the riot act!!!too funny!! Well hang in there sweetie....Let us know how the doc goes!! Also, I am sure it's tough as you go through this week and anniversary for Chloe....I bet it was really tough with Sam! But, he is happy and healthy[:)] I pray for comfort for you this week.

Hi Suzanne! I am sorry to hear that you are having some problems with your blood pressure meds! I am really sensitive to mine! One thing that I did find that helped with the labetalol was to take 1/2 the pill then take the other half about 1/2 later. If I would take it all at once I would feel dizzy, light headed and just feel like crap in general! I would literally have to lay down and let that feeling go away, sometimes, it would not go away until my next med time. THerefore; it would not go away!

Since doing it that way, I have let my body adjust to such a change! Now I am able to finially take the full 200 mg at a time and not get sick. I feel good now!

Sory I have been quiet here on the board. Everyone has been so darn sick here at our house! This winter has sure been hard!

I had posted under a post Suzanne started - If you didn't know they had put me on Aldomet and it made me feel really nasty. They took me off of it Thursday and wrote me a script for Labatelol (which is what I took at the end with my preg with Sam). As of today I have not started the Labatelol. Why? Well it made me feel like bunk when I took it before. I am tired of feeling nasty and not being able to take care of things here at the house. I am finally starting to feel better in terms of the morning sickness THANKFULLY! I am monitoring my bps and watching for all the tell tale signs. I am sure you will all read me the riot act about not starting the Labetalol... and you all can [:)] I have a follow up appointment this coming Thursday for a bp check. I will let you know how it goes!

I will be 16 weeks soon. A anniversary date for Chloe. It is easier this time then it was with Sam. One day at a time....

Thank you so much for thinking of me! You make my life so much brighter because you care. I hope you and your family are well.
Hugs,
Suzanna
